The Israeli army acknowledged, Monday, the death of a captain and medical doctor in the Givati Brigade and the wounding of seven other soldiers, including four officers and a battalion commander, in an attack carried out by Hezbollah using explosive-laden drones.
In a statement, the army said the deceased was a medic from the Shaked Battalion (424) of the Givati Brigade and was killed during fighting in southern Lebanon.
Israeli Army Radio reported that Hezbollah launched six explosive-laden drones around noon, Monday, toward a group of soldiers and a Nimer armored vehicle belonging to the Givati Brigade, which was stationed on the outskirts of the town of Zawtar al-Sharqiya, near the Shaqif site.
The radio added that among those seriously wounded were the operations officer of the Shaked Battalion and a platoon commander in the same battalion, while the battalion commander, a lieutenant colonel, was also wounded.
This attack comes a day after the Israeli army radio also announced the death of a soldier from the Givati Brigade’s reconnaissance unit and the wounding of four other soldiers in an explosion caused by an explosive-laden drone that targeted them, Saturday, evening in the Zawtar al-Sharqiya area of southern Lebanon.
The southern Lebanese front is witnessing a continuous escalation, amid ongoing clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli occupation forces according to Qudspress.
